Abstract (en)
[origin: EP2602595A1] A contactless force measurement sensor for measuring an applied force onto an object (2) is provided, the contactless force measurement sensor comprises a first facing orientation (zl) which facing orientation defines an orientation pointing towards a surface of the object, a first magnetic field generating unit (10a) being adapted for generating a magnetic field towards the facing orientation, a first magnetic field detector unit (20a) being adapted for detecting a first magnetic field which field being generated by the first magnetic field generating unit and being influenced by an applied force to be measured, wherein the first magnetic field detector unit is further adapted for outputting a first signal being representative for the detected magnetic field, and an evaluating unit (50) being adapted for evaluating a signal strength of the first signal and determining the applied force based on the first signal.
